Sherwood Systems Certified on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0

 

CRM4LogoWe are pleased to announce that we are now certified on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, a fully integrated customer relationship management system. 

 

Microsoft Dynamics CRM allows your sales, marketing and service staff to easily share information and route tasks, providing a more seamless experience for your customers.  And because Microsoft Dynamics CRM works like and with familiar Microsoft products, there is less of a learning curve for your employees.   

 

Microsoft now offers a free Adaptor for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 (CRM) and Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 (GP).  The Adaptor is an out-of-the-box tool which allows you to move data between CRM and GP.  

 

Sales Orders can be created in either system.  Once an order is submitted from CRM to GP, GP becomes the system of record and the order is read-only in CRM. 

In the case of the CRM Account and GP Customer, the data is truly multi-mastered.  Once the data exists in both systems, an update to either system will cause the other system to be updated - keeping the information in sync. 

 

 

 

To introduce our customers to the benefits of using CRM with GP, we are having monthly CRM luncheons. Thanks to our customers who have shown interest and attended our CRM luncheon in January.  We will keep you posted on the date for the next CRM luncheon in February.

The One Thing You Can Do to Be More Profitable in 2010  By Anita Campbell 

 

After family and friends, many of our thoughts turn to our businesses and our employees as we ring in a New Year.  How will we keep growing - and not just growth, but profitable growth? 

Some of us had a challenging 2009, with lower sales and lower earnings - and a lot of belt tightening.  But even if you had an outstanding year in 2009, most businesses have room for a little improvement in profits. 


I polled some of my business owner contacts to see how they would answer the following question: "What is the number one thing you can do to be more profitable in 2010?"

Time Matrix Time Clock and Web Clock for Microsoft Dynamics GPTime Matrix clock

Time Matrix from Business Computers Software, Inc. is a full-featured time system which is fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics GP.

 

The Touch Screen Monitor Time Clock is a software time and attendance system which interfaces with:

  • Payroll
  • Human Resources
  • Project Accountineg
  • GP and Horizons Manufacturing
  • Sales Order Processing
  • Receivables
  • WennSoft Job Cost
  • WennSoft Service Management

The Time Clock is easy to use by "computer-challenged" employees and runs on a personal computer.  Employee Time can be viewed from a Logbook and a Calendar.  Clocking out creates a time transaction in the logbook, and transactions are posted to GP Payroll for preparation of payroll checks, eliminating the need to manually type in hourly payroll transactions. 

 

Time Matrix now offers a Web Time Clock which enables employees to clock in and out over the Internet using a web browser.

Tips & Tricks

Changing Default Columns in SmartLists

 

If you find that you are constantly adding or changing columns or fields before creating a SmartList Favorite, this tip may be for you.  The SmartList Options window allows you to define default columns that will always appear when creating a SmartList Favorite. 

 

In Microsoft Dynamics GP 10, go to the SmartList Options window (Tools>Setup>System) and select a SmartList in the Category field.  The list of columns display with checkmarks next to the defaults.  Check or uncheck the columns until you have the list of fields that you would like to see by default.  Use the up or down arrow buttons to change the order that the columns display.  When you're happy with your list, click the OK button to save your changes.  The next time you create a Favorite for that SmartList, these columns will now display.
